Moscow, March 7, 2024, 08:19 - IA Regnum. Combat operations in the Ukrainian conflict zone could provoke a large-scale war in Europe, Colonel General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, head of the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (AF), wrote in his conceptual article in the Military Thought magazine.

“The possibility of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine cannot be ruled out - from the expansion of participants in the “proxy forces” used for military confrontation with Russia, to a large-scale war in Europe,” he believes.

Zarudnitsky noted that the end of the confrontation in Ukraine will not lead to the end of the confrontation between Russia and the West. The Colonel General explained that this situation is connected with the ongoing transformation of the world order.

The head of the General Staff Academy recalled that the West plans to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia in order to maintain its hegemony. According to Zarudnitsky, in connection with this, the demands on the Russian military security system are increasing.

To improve this system, the Colonel General proposes to bring it into line with the scale and types of threats. In addition, the head of the General Staff Academy considers it necessary to move to a modular principle in the implementation of measures to ensure military security.

He emphasized that the defense of the state cannot be limited only to military measures and that the consolidation of the entire country is necessary. In addition, Zarudnitsky advocates shifting the priority of national security to the sphere of military defense.

Another trend, which, according to the Colonel General, cannot be avoided, is increasing the efficiency and centralization of management of the military security system. The author of the article also advocates increasing the importance of the potential of friendly countries in solving Russian military security problems.

As Regnum reported, on February 18, the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, suggested that the EU authorities intendgo to war against Russia. He wrote that this is indicated by the anti-Russian statements of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen at the Munich Security Conference. Filippo believes that the statements of the head of the EC are aimed at justifying Europe's entry into the conflict.

On January 22, Professor Stanislav Belen expressed the opinion that Ukraine will again become a site of hostilities after the end of the current conflict. He also called the promises of assistance in reconstruction that the West had previously given to Kyiv in vain.
